Tomas Cosgrove again tries to find Andy Ryan with an aerial ball, but Danny Wallace continues to have the upper hand in the personal duel.

The centre-back has been dominant in these early exchanges against the striker.

A brief break 7in play as referee Christopher Morrison comes across to fourth official Shane Andrews for running repairs on what appears to be his microphone.

A couple of minutes later and we're good to go again.

Olatunde Bayode displays impressive acceleration down the left flank, leaving Steven Scott trailing.

His dangerous cutback into the penalty area is alertly dealt with by Kealan Dillon, who hooks the ball to safety under pressure.

Good pressure from Glenavon early on, overturning the ball deep into the Crusaders half. Jack Malone also tries his luck with a powerful shot from outside the box, but Jonathan Tuffey gets his body behind it to make a rather routine save.

Nathan Gartside is called into action once again and is able to palm two corners away in quick succession.

It's been a busy enough opening 10 minutes for the Loughgall stopper.

Coleraine captain Lyndon Kane using all his experience to deny Joel Cooper.

The Linfield front man was looking to capitalise on a long clearance but Kane was able to get across in front and win a free-kick from referee Christopher Morrison.

Nathan Gartside makes a diving save down to his right to divert Luke O'Brien's shot from just outside the box out of play.

That was a good chance for the home side.

Andy Ryan shows great determination in his tussle with Danny Wallace, managing to work space for a shot under pressure.

The defender does just enough to deflect the effort behind, but the resulting corner comes to nothing.

A very good save by Jonathan Tuffey to deny David McDaid. McDaid latched onto a pass by Micheal O’Connor but Tuffey stood strong to palm the ball around the post and out for a corner that comes to nothing.

Tomas Cosgrove spots Andy Ryan's clever run and floats a delightful ball over the top.

Ryan spins away from Danny Wallace, but despite apparent contact on the edge of the box, the referee waves away the appeals.

Five minutes gone and we have our first effort on goal.

Jamie Glackin picks the ball up in midfield, spots Linfield goalkeeper David Walsh out of his goal and tries his luck from distance.

Walsh is scrambling back but the volley goes harmlessly past the post.

Chris Gallagher's clever through ball takes a fortunate deflection into the path of Andy Ryan inside the penalty area.

The striker bears down on Declan Dunne, but sees his low effort is saved by the Swifts stopper.

Seanan Clucas' header takes an awkward bounce, but Nathan Gartside reads the situation well and is able to gather the danger.

It's been a promising opening few minutes from the home side.

Crusaders get us underway here at Mourneview Park.

Coleraine's Jamie Glackin gets us underway on a bright spring like afternoon in south Belfast.

With Glentoran dropping points on Friday night this is a huge opportunity for David Healy's side to take a step closer to another league title.

As for Coleraine, they need a result to reignite their flickering hopes of a top six finish come the split.

An intriguing game in prospect then at Windsor Park.

And with a peep of referee Ben McMaster's whistle, the ball is rolling at Inver Park.

Referee Declan Hassan starts the action at the Warden Street Showgrounds.

The much-maligned playing surface has cut up somewhat after both teams completed their warm-up - which side will adapt better to the tricky underfoot conditions?

We're under way at Taylors Avenue!

Neither side has registered a league victory in 2025. Will this change this afternoon?

Former Carrick Rangers manager on BBC Sportsound

I believe Larne's form hasn't been good enough, I'm sure everyone at the club expects better, they haven't been anywhere near the level they should be.

After Cliftonville's 2-0 win over Glentoran, BBC Sport NI caught up with Reds boss Jim Magilton and Glens manager Declan Devine.

Magilton on the game:

"It was a big night for us, I thought we were outstanding. It's always going to be a tough game, given our circumstances - we needed to win. In the first half, we cancelled each other out, a sparring match, really. The second half was better for us and we scored two good goals and probably edged it."

Magilton on building momentum towards the split:

"Tonight was a big result for us; there's no doubt about that - we stuttered. We need to build momentum, we have a massive few weeks coming up. We need to finish in the top six as there's a lot of expectation at this club, and rightly so."

Devine on the game:

"The second half was unlike us, we haven't played with the intensity or quality we have in recent weeks, and both boxes have cost us tonight. We switched off for two poor goals. I can't knock the effort of the players, but we were off it. We had chances to take the lead, and they've come back to bite us. There's no hiding from it; we made mistakes tonight and full credit to Jim and his team. They punished us."
